Sophomore defensive lineman Jordan Elliott used an interesting medium to announce his transfer from Texas: Snapchat.

Elliott on Thursday used the social-media sharing app to send out a text message conversation explaining his decision to move on from UT after one season.

“After many months of consideration I have come to the conclusion that The University of Texas is not the place for me anymore,” Elliot’s text reads. “I love what is going on here and the future is bright but the schools doesn’t fit what I originally through it would be. I have thought long and hard on this and I have to make the best decision for me and my family.”

“You can win with Malcolm Roach, Chris Nelson, and definitely Poona Ford — he’s the hardest playing guy we have on our football team,” Herman said. “The problem is, defensive guys can’t play 70-80 snaps a game. The pass rush becomes non-existent at the end of the game, so you have to develop your second group.”
